Abstract: Furan derivatives (DMF (2,5-dimethylfuran), MF (2-methylfuran), and furan) are the attractive oxygenated fuels to reduce the consumption of fossil fuel and engine emissions due to their comparable combustion properties to those of commercial gasoline and the productivities from lignocellulosic raw materials. Many experimental studies have been focused on these promising fuel characteristics including laminar burning velocities, laminar flame structures, ignition delay times, and pyrolysis species. Various kinetic mechanisms have been developed in detail as well based on up to date experimental data in accordance with the quantum chemical calculations. In the present study, the vast amount of experimental data have been collected, consolidated, and reviewed along with the kinetic model validations in order to envision a future fuel research on furan derivatives for minimizing the experimental uncertainties, improving the data fidelity, and developing accurate kinetic models.
